1991 300CE with 178m.

Last time I got new tires and an alignment, the shop said that I was at the end of the camber adjustment and that soon the alignment could no longer be adjusted correctly. He said that this was because of old springs that are no longer the correct height. After awhile the front tires began to wear on the outside edge.

Does this sound like a correct diagnosis? What is typically done then, some (younger) springs from a used parts place? My local parts guy has some new ones (Lesjofors brand) for about $65 each.

Thanks,
